The artwork, titled “New Hoover Celebrity III’s,” was created by Jeff Koons in 1980 in the United States. This piece, which falls within the realm of Conceptual Art, is categorized as a sculpture and is composed using ready-made objects.
The artwork consists of vacuum cleaners, specifically Hoover Celebrity models, displayed within a pristine, clear plexiglass case. The vacuums are positioned upright, one above the other, with one in vibrant red and the other in bright yellow, alongside their corresponding hoses and attachments. The presentation of these everyday appliances is elevated to the status of art, inviting viewers to reconsider the nature and context of consumer products. The placement within the case highlights both the functionality and the aesthetic qualities of these commonplace items, aligning with Koons’ broader explorations of consumerism and popular culture.
